Everything included

What Managed AI covers, at a glance

Every item below is included at every size. Only two things scale with headcount — 1:1 volume and on-site days — everything else is identical whether you're 12 people or 300.

Your people

  • A monthly session for all staff — what's new, and what it means for your work
  • A trained champion network, coached every month
  • A personal 1:1 for every member of staff, every year
  • Regular AI clinics, on-site or online — bring whatever you're working on
  • Automatic enrolment and tracked completion for every new starter

Time back

  • A workload baseline captured at onboarding — so impact is measured, not asserted
  • A written impact report every term: hours back, where, and for whom
  • One manual task fixed each term, using tooling you already have

Staying current

  • We track AI tooling weekly and the rules continuously — you get it monthly
  • An immediate alert when something material lands
  • A 48-hour verdict on any tool a staff member wants to use

Governance & proof

  • Your AI policy kept current, with amendments pre-drafted and ready to ratify
  • A living AI Register — every system, named owner, data boundaries, DPIA status
  • The Assurance File: one link with your training records, policies and evidence
  • A termly assurance pack for your board or leadership team
  • A named consultant — and 24/7 messaging with a next-day reply from a real AI specialist
Why it exists

Your staff already use AI. Few have been trained to use it well.

AI keeps changing faster than any organisation can retrain for. Keeping up with the tools and what you're required to prove about them is a full-time job — one nobody on your team has.

  • 75%of knowledge workers already use AI at work
  • 17%of organisations have a formal AI policy
  • Moststaff have had no AI training at all
What you hold

Four things you can point to

Managed AI is delivered as living artefacts you hold and people we train — not a report that goes in a drawer. This is the AI consultancy done as a product: if it isn't on this list, it isn't a deliverable.

The AI Register

Every AI system in your organisation: named owner, data boundaries, vendor verdict, DPIA status, date added. A living inventory — the artefact serious procurement and regulation now ask to see.

The Assurance File

One current link: training coverage, policy history, acknowledgement records, Register export and impact data. Hand it to an inspector, an auditor or a client without preparing anything.

The Champion Network

A handful of confident staff, trained properly and kept ahead, carrying day-to-day AI capability inside your organisation — so the skills live with you, not with us.

A named consultant — and the whole team

One person who knows your organisation runs your sessions, reviews and reports. Message us any time — 24/7, 365 days a year — and a real AI specialist replies by the next day, usually much sooner.

Impact you can show

A workload baseline before we start, a written report against it every term, and adoption monitoring in between — so the value is measured, not asserted.

How it starts

From scoping call to business as usual

  1. A free scoping call

    We talk through your organisation and your headcount band. You'll know the exact monthly price — the published band price, nothing bespoke — before you commit to anything.

  2. £500 onboarding

    The one-time build phase: workload baseline captured, AI Register built, DPIA backlog cleared, policy drafted for ratification, champions chosen and inducted, Learning Space populated, and a 90-day roadmap agreed.

  3. Go live

    Your first all-staff session, clinics in the calendar, champions coached, and the Learning Space open to everyone — with new starters enrolled automatically from day one.

  4. Every month after

    Sessions, 1:1s and clinics run; the Register, policy and Assurance File stay current; and every term you get a written impact report against your baseline.

Governance

Always current. Always ready to show.

The governance layer of the AI consultancy: policy, Register, DPIAs and evidence maintained continuously — not assembled in a panic when someone asks.

  1. A policy that stays current

    Plain-English AI rules for your staff — and pupils or clients where relevant — kept current, with amendments pre-drafted and ready to ratify whenever the framework moves.

  2. A living Register

    Every AI system logged with a named owner, data boundaries, vendor verdict and DPIA status. A staff member wants a new tool? A verdict within 48 hours, and it joins the Register.

  3. Evidence as you go

    Training completions, acknowledgements and policy history collect into the Assurance File automatically, month by month.

  4. Proof on demand

    A termly assurance pack for your board or leadership team, and the Assurance File one link away — always current, never scrambled together.

And if you're ever inspected or audited, we're available within four hours and prepare the AI evidence with you — included, not extra.

Staying current

We track it weekly. You get it monthly — and immediately when it matters.

AI tooling moves weekly and the rules keep moving too. We watch both, decide what matters for your organisation, and turn it into something your team can use on Monday.

  1. Month one

    A model release that actually matters

    We test it against the tasks your team really does, update the affected Learning Space modules, and cover it in the monthly session — what changed, and what to do differently.

  2. Month two

    The framework moves

    A regulator updates its guidance. You get an immediate alert with what it means for you, and a pre-drafted policy amendment ready for your next leadership meeting.

  3. Month three

    A tool request from your team

    Someone wants to try a new AI tool. Within 48 hours: a verdict on where its data goes, whether it's safe for your work, and — if it passes — a place on your Register with a named owner.

An example of how a season can look — yours is built around your organisation.

Pricing

One product. Priced by organisation size.

Every band is published, and the number on the page is the number on the invoice. The bigger your organisation, the less it costs per person.

Organisation sizePer month (ex VAT)
10–25 staff£995
26–50 staff£1,245
51–99 staff£1,495
100–150 staff£1,850
151–300 staff£2,250
300+ stafffrom £2,450 · priced at scoping

Band = total headcount, measured at onboarding and re-checked at renewal only — new starters never change your price mid-term. On-site cadence scales with size: termly visits at the smallest bands, monthly from 51 staff, and more above 150 — where your champion network carries day-to-day capability, which is why each additional person costs less. 300+ organisations are priced at the scoping call.

How it starts: £500 onboarding

Every engagement starts with a one-time £500 build phase: workload baseline, AI Register, DPIA backlog, policy drafted to ratification, champions inducted, Learning Space populated. Everything it creates is yours.

  • No minimum term — monthly rolling, one month's written notice
  • £500 one-time onboarding, nothing else up front
  • Leave any time: your policy, Register, Assurance File, certificates and records are yours forever
  • Optional extras — custom automation, a formal governance audit, or additional on-site days — priced separately

Prices exclude VAT.

Multi-academy trusts

Each school in a trust is its own delivery unit, banded by its own headcount — its own champions, sessions and on-site days. Trusts with two to four schools get 15% off the total; five or more, 25% off. Onboarding is £500 per school.

Worked example — three primaries in the 26–50 band: 3 × £1,245, less 15% — £3,175 a month for the trust.

FAQs

Managed AI — your questions answered

What is Managed AI?

Managed AI is ReadyToday's AI consultancy delivered as a monthly product. We run your organisation's whole AI function: training your staff month by month through a private Learning Space, coaching a champion network inside your organisation, keeping your AI policy, AI Register and DPIAs current, maintaining the evidence in an always-ready Assurance File, and measuring the impact every term. It's priced by organisation size, from £995 a month.

How much does it cost?

Pricing is by total headcount, in published bands: £995 a month for 10–25 staff, £1,245 for 26–50, £1,495 for 51–99, £1,850 for 100–150 and £2,250 for 151–300, with 300+ priced at the scoping call from £2,450. There's a £500 one-time onboarding and nothing else up front. No minimum term, one month's written notice. Prices exclude VAT.

What does the £500 onboarding cover?

Onboarding is the build phase, and everything it creates is yours: we capture your workload baseline, discover what AI is already in use, build your AI Register, clear the DPIA backlog, draft your AI policy to the point your board can ratify it, choose and induct your champions, populate your Learning Space, and agree a 90-day roadmap. It's a one-time £500, charged at the start.

Is there a minimum term or lock-in?

No. Managed AI is monthly rolling with one month's written notice, and there's no exit fee. We'd rather keep you because the work is good.

What do we keep if we leave?

Everything that was built for you: your AI policy, your AI Register, your Assurance File, your DPIAs, everyone's certificates, completion records, baselines and impact reports. They live in your organisation from day one — we couldn't hold them hostage if we wanted to. Access to the Learning Space itself ends with the subscription, because its content is refreshed monthly as part of the service.

How does the band system work?

Your band is your total headcount — everyone, not 'users' or seats, because the product covers the whole organisation. We measure it at onboarding and re-check it at renewal only, so new starters never change your price mid-term. If you've crossed a boundary at renewal, the band changes then, announced in advance.

We're a multi-academy trust — how does pricing work?

Each school in the trust is banded by its own headcount, because each school gets its own champions, sessions, on-site days and 1:1 coverage. Trusts with two to four schools get 15% off the total; five or more schools, 25% off. Onboarding is £500 per school. What consolidates at trust level — one policy suite, one trustee assurance pack, one Register structure — is why the discount exists.

What's an AI champion, and why do you insist on them?

Champions are a handful of your own staff — trained properly, coached monthly, and kept ahead — who carry day-to-day AI capability inside your organisation. Ofsted's 2025 study of early adopters found most of the schools and colleges it visited had an AI champion who was instrumental in bringing staff on board, and that in larger providers and trusts, AI leadership brought together data, IT and curriculum roles. We build that model as standard. It's also a condition of sale: named champions with protected time, signed off by your head or MD. An organisation that won't commit that isn't ready to buy, and we'd rather both of us knew at the scoping call.

How quickly can someone answer a question?

Message us any time — 24/7, 365 days a year. A real AI specialist replies by the next day, and usually much sooner. Your named consultant handles most things; for anything deeper, the whole team is behind them.

How do you measure whether it's working?

Against a baseline, not a feeling. Onboarding captures how many hours your people currently spend on the work AI can help with. Every term you get a written report against that baseline — hours back, where, and for whom — plus adoption monitoring in between, so quiet corners get support before they become a problem. Schools get it termly; businesses quarterly.

A staff member wants to use a new AI tool — what happens?

They ask, and within 48 hours they get a verdict: where the tool sends its data, whether it's safe for your work, and any conditions. If it passes, it joins your AI Register with a named owner. That's how the Register stays a living inventory rather than a snapshot — and how staff stop paying for unvetted tools personally. The Register also defines what's covered: adding a system brings it into scope, and if an addition materially changes your estate we'll say so at the next renewal, never mid-term.

Do you work with schools as well as businesses?

Yes — same product, same published prices. The education page covers what schools, trusts and colleges get evidenced — KCSIE Part One, assessment integrity, the termly board pack — and the business page covers measured time back, the AI-system register and client-ready governance. Both are linked above.

Is this right for a small team?

Yes — the 10–25 band exists exactly for small organisations, at £995 a month. Delivery is right-sized rather than diluted: the monthly session and clinic combine into one visit, you get two named champions rather than a full network, and every inclusion — the Learning Space, Register, Assurance File, 48-hour tool verdicts, 24/7 messaging — is identical.
